Lantana police are looking for two robbers who escaped with about $1,400 on Saturday in an early-evening robbery of a Fayva Shoe Store.

According to police, two male suspects entered the Lantana store and appeared to be shopping for shoes. One suspect asked a salesman for assistance with baby shoes in the rear of the store while the other remained in the front, where another employee was working.

Both employees reported to police that the two suspects held handguns to their heads and demanded that a cash register be opened and the money handed over. After putting both employees in the storeroom, the suspects fled the store to a small, older model white car, which had been parked in a nearby Kmart parking lot, police said.

The first suspect was described as a black male, about 27 years old, five-foot-nine, 220 pounds with brown eyes and a light complexion.

The second was described as a black male, about 28, five-foot-seven, 140 pounds with brown eyes, dark complexion and a scar on his forehead.
